I had never heard of this woman; but apparently she and her husband were very important writers. She and her husband wrote novels and screenplays and lived quite a life. This is her memoir of the year after her husband died. It was poignant, but I am not sure that it would hit the general public like it would a literary type. I did like it though, and it did make me contemplate loss as I just had 10 deaths between the end of May and end of June. It made me appreciate my marriage (they had a good one) and cherishing the time I have with my loved ones. I am looking forward to watching the documentary on her life when I take advantage of the next Free month of Netflix. "What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well" (The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupéry). My journey to a WELL-adjusted heart, WELL-watered soul, WELL-educated mind, and WELL-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).
